GS-13 employee was temporarily promoted to GM-14 for the period April 1989 through April 1991, when he was returned to his previous GS-13 position. In February 1992, he was again temporarily promoted to the GM-14 position, until February 1993, when he was returned to GS-13. In March 1993 the agency advised him that due to several errors in setting his pay during these periods, he had been overpaid for which he would be in debt. At about the same time, he was permanently promoted to GM-14, and his pay was again erroneously set at a higher rate which caused him to receive overpayments through November 1993 when the agency corrected the error. Waiver was granted for overpayments he received during the period through February 1993, but denied for the subsequent period on the basis that the advice he received in March should have put him on notice that his pay was incorrect. On appeal, waiver is granted for the additional period since record supports employee's contention that the March advice related only to prior problems with his pay, and he was not aware that upon his subsequent promotion it again was set erroneously. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-260843/html/GAOREPORTS-B-260843.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-260843/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-260843.pdf GAO/B-260843 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-260843 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-260843; Alan D.
